[Healeys] Taking Door Handle Apart

[John Spaur]

I think it is a split pin and should not be peened but I cannot find a
complete handle. However, be sure the handle body is not cracked or
cracking. It is very common but hard to spot. Look closely at the opening in
the lower right side of the handle body; it's cracked. I bought some new
handles from AH Spares about 5 years ago and the fit was so poor I returned
them and looked for some good used ones to re-plate. Perhaps it is better
now, I don't know. I doubt you can plate them without full disassembly.

Hello,

 

I would like to replace the spring and re-chrome the door handles. The big
hollow pin and the smallest diameter pin came out easily. The third pin
appears to have a countersunk head on one side and peened on the other. I
tried to press it out and it wasn't moving. Any suggestion how to remove the
medium size pin or is it best to leave it be?

 

Thanks... Harold
